This week in social studies we will finish up our study of government. We will take a close look at President George Washington and President Abraham Lincoln on Tuesday. Later in the week we will discuss the election process and review all we have learned over the past few weeks with government.
***Be watching on Tuesday in your child's red homework folder for an at-home government project! Students will get to choose which branch of government they want to learn more about. We will give them a set of guidelines and questions they need to answer. These projects will be due in class on Monday, March 5th.
*Please let Mrs. Mathewson know if you have any questions over the next couple of weeks with this project.
This week in science we will finish up weather and move on to space! We will begin learning about the sun and the stars. One clear night this week take a look at the night sky and see if you can find any constellations!
In Language Arts this week, our focus will be on reading and writing our own tall tales. We will learn what exactly a tall tale is and read many examples such as: Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill, John Henry, etc. We will do lots of tall tale character comparisons throughout the week as well.
Check out some pictures from last week's AMAZING performance of "Circus! Circus!"
